What are your general comments?

"You cannot be more supportive and enthusiastic than the OSU staff and students without the risk of seeming overbearing. My interview day was well planned and felt more entertaining than stressful. The follow-up if you do get accepted is tremendous. They really go the extra mile to get you to attend OSU and what I like best is they seem to purposely select candidates with something in eccentric in their applications to increase the diversity."
